Solution

  • Take a sample of the colourless liquid and place it on the burner; if it begins to boil exactly at 100oC, it is pure water.
  • The boiling point of any other colorless liquid, such as vinegar, is always different. Also, keep in mind that the entire liquid will evaporate after some time, leaving no behind.
  • We can test it by examining the reactivity of particular metals that react vigorously.
